No nightly build since 12/7/2019

[milessabin]

The last available nightly build was published on 12/7/2019,

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ch/epfl/lamp/dotty-compiler_0.17/

which I think coincides with the CI upgrade ... did the nightly build job disappear during the switchover?

[smarter]

@Fnux can you investigate ?

[Fnux]

I'll take a look, I do not know how they where triggered earlier but there is a built-in cron-like system in Drone 1.x which should do the job.

It used to be a cron job that lives on of the LAMP machine (ask @fsalvi). The cron job used to run the drone CLI. Something along the line of drone deploy nightly ....

there is a built-in cron-like system in Drone 1.x which should do the job.

Yes, I believe you should migrate to that and disable the old cron job.

[fsalvi]

There is a cron job on lampsrv43 (drone user) which was used for the nightly builds at 3am, using drone deploy.

We should make the bot create an issue when the nightly failed. ghi is convenient for the purpose.

[milessabin]

Is there anything I can do to help move this along?

[smarter]

Meanwhile, I've started a nightly build manually: https://dotty-ci.epfl.ch/lampepfl/dotty/266 FYI, the syntax to do that has changed, using the binary from https://github.com/drone/drone-cli/releases, one needs to run:

drone build promote lampepfl/dotty 263 nightly

where "263" is the id of a successful build (EDIT: actually it doesn't need to be a successful build anymore).

[smarter]

...actually that didn't work, but I think I have a fix: #6921

[Fnux]

I patched the cronjob on lampsrv43 a few days ago but did not take/find the time to update the drone-ci.yml file earlier as I am traveling. A build should be promoted every day at 3 AM (I suspect it happened for https://dotty-ci.epfl.ch/lampepfl/dotty/272/1/8).

It looks like we had a nightly build published for 0.18 http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ch/epfl/lamp/dotty-compiler_0.18

[milessabin]

Is that the one that @smarter triggered by hand but apparently failed?

[smarter]

It's a different one i triggered by hand that worked.
